The Role of Sabbath in Christian Discipleship

Does the practice of Sabbath help us to become better disciples of Jesus? Many Christians struggle with the idea of Sabbath-keeping, often seeing it as an outdated or legalistic practice. This episode addresses those concerns by exploring what it truly means to find rest in God and how practicing a form of Sabbath can be a vital part of our spiritual growth. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how spiritual disciplines like Sabbath-keeping can lead to a more peaceful and fulfilling walk with Christ.

In this discussion, Wes McAdams and Chase Turner explore the biblical concept of the Sabbath, drawing from both Old and New Testament perspectives. They talk about how Sabbath-keeping isn't about adhering to legalistic rules but rather about embracing rest as a gift from God. The conversation delves into how Jesus modeled a lifestyle of peace and rest and how Christians today can apply these principles in a fast-paced world. By engaging with these biblical concepts, listeners are encouraged to view Sabbath not as a restrictive command but as an invitation to experience God's grace and presence.

The guest for this episode, Chase Turner, works with the Herald of Truth, focusing on planting and enhancing Spanish-speaking churches across the United States, as well as in Central and South America.
